Another sub-20°F morning has come and gone. We had some light flurries yesterday but the roads remained clear. I'll be taking it easy (read: riding the bus a lot and going to bed early) for the rest of the week. I am excited and anxious about the upcoming 200k.

Some accomplished cyclists will probably get a chuckle about my concern over the 200k that starts in sub-freezing temperatures. Others will likely wonder why I'd even consider it. Regardless your stance, it will easily be the most difficult thing I've ever tried to do on a bicycle. While I wonder if I am prepared enough to actually complete it, I am not worried about the event itself. I'll be with a good friend who's done a lot of these, and my wonderful wife has told me she'll be on standby if I need rescuing.

That reminds me... I haven't taken The Twelve out since I wrenched on it. I need to ride it around a bit tonight and tomorrow just to make sure everything is in order.
